Default Quick&easy, Administrator login not available

How do I get the Administrator login prompt available?
All it shows is my user login.

Thanks.

Default Re: Quick&easy, Administrator login not available

In Windows XP Professional, press CTRL-ALT-DEL twice at the welcome screen,
and you'll be shown the "classic" login box.
You can log in as Administrator there.

In Windows XP Home Edition, you must start the computer in Safe Mode to be
able to login as Administrator.

If you'd like to add the Administrator account to the Welcome screen, follow
the advice on Kelly's page:

Keep in mind, though, that even if the Administrator account is displayed on
the Welcome Screen, you must be running in Safe Mode to login as
Administrator on Windows XP Home Edition.

Symantec has a web page about how to start XP in Safe Mode:
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...01060608000039

I'm not so sure that I agree with their "recommended" method, the Alternate
method for single operating system computers is what I use, but whatever's
easier...
